ST’s Napoli site has hosted in September 40 students from five universities presenting their projects based on the STM32F401 Nucleo boards. The students had started just 64 hours before in the specially converted auditorium of the Napoli site.

The majority had little or no practical experience of 32bit microcontrollers.

After the initial difficulties, the team members – most of whom didn’t know each other before – were soon working late into the evenings to get their projects moving. Feedback from the students was very positive.
